teams of the 70s-Final update-the playoffs

Using the 70s players set, we will set out to determine which two teams, based primarily on city/state/country geography was the strongest in the 70s. Is it the New York Mets/Yankees who can send Tom Seaver, Ron Guidry and Jon Matlack to the mound as their starting pitcher? The Los Angeles Dodgers/California Angels who can add Nolan Ryan and Frank Tanana to the impressive Dodgers infield? Maybe the Ohio team which adds Gaylord Perry and Sam McDowell to the Big Red Machine.

Players assigned to team which they had the most plate appearances (hitters) or innings pitched (pitchers) from the time period between 1970 and 1979. An Excel sheet was created detailing which players are associated with each club. The team listed on the player cards has no impact on team assignment—the Excel sheet roster is the determinant of player assignment.

Average number of players available for each team: 59
Average number of hitters: 35
Average number of pitchers: 24

Here are the team combinations:

East—4 teams with highest team salary

Pittsburgh Pirates//Minnesota Twins
New York Mets/New York Yankees
California Angels/Los Angeles Dodgers
Oakland Athletics/San Francisco Giants

Central-4 teams with the next highest salary

Baltimore Orioles/Montreal Expos
Boston Red Sox/Detroit Tigers
Atlanta Braves/Milwaukee Brewers
Cincinnati Reds/Cleveland Indians

West—4 teams with the lowest team salary

Chicago Cubs/Chicago White Sox
Kansas City Royals/St. Louis Cardinals
Houston Astros/Texas Rangers
Philadelphia Phillies/San Diego Padres

(Note---Boston/Detroit, Pittsburgh/Minnesota and Philadelphia/San Diego teams didn't have perfect combo teams based on their geography.or another connection.

Players associated with Seattle and Toronto were judgmentally assigned to another team. These players appear in a red font color on the official roster sheet.
